It seems like only yesterday
that two young lovers dared display
their sentiments for all to see
beneath the cherry blossom tree
It seems like only yesterday
that you and I together prayed
and vowed forever to remain
loyal -- never inflicting pain
It seems like only yesterday
that our dear children went away
pursuing each their goals and dreams
and never losing hope or steam
It seems like only yesterday
that you and I were young and gay
But now we're old - as hair grows thin -
the days just fly like petals in the wind

| Writing Prompt |
A kyrielle is made of quatrains that rhyme. Each stanza (that is a quatrain) has a line that repeats, so a line from a previous stanza. That line usually (but does not necessarily have to) be the last line in the stanza. Each line in the poem has eight syllables. There is no limit to the number of stanzas. Usually there are three or more stanzas. Any type of rhyme scheme can be used. More information and an example. |
